supported there but it doesn't look like these kinds of protests will continue to spread throughout lebanon on what strikes us scheduled in the southern city on wednesday as well as on friday saturday and sunday now we also know that the clashes between you and indonesia and other places across the muslim world and it remains to be seen how long they will continue before calming down you see catherine over porting in beirut r t. joining the fray is toyland where rank upon rank of grow up police formed a perimeter outside the u.s. embassy hundreds more protesters marched on the compound waving the battles and challenging against america the embassy was put on lockdown ahead of the protests all over the central stauffer sent away for safety similar protests have not spread to more than thirty nations around the world just a week since it all began demonstrations and violent outbursts of now struck across four continents and volatile poseurs have been on the rise to with militants and
12:04 pm
terrorists seeking to. capitalize on the anger large scale demonstrations and well planned in iran and lebanon well let's have more now on that attack in afghanistan which we're reporting on and the role of militants in these protests with lindsey german she's from the british stop the war coalition well the war in afghanistan by and large has not been a religious one now although mainstream insurgents are launching attacks not of the name of independence but religion how different does this make the situation now in afghanistan well i don't you can see it's just about religion i think this is very much about me role of the nato forces the role of the occupation i don't think you can really explain. the sense of anger over without looking at the background because the background to it is that many many thousands of people died in afghanistan and in a whole number of other countries including iraq but in afghanistan itself there is
12:05 pm
a clear sign that people are turning against the occupation and the resistance is there anything growing and that's i mean what we saw today with the bomb attack and i mean we will see more of these things because. the taliban and the other people who are posing not real and probably rightly are in a stronger position in maryland position to get rid of the troops that's what the attack on camp bastion was about last week and that's what they'll continue to do you saying we will see more not not just in afghanistan but in other countries as well what you mean by that you mean that this could lead to something more than just protests now well i think we have to see the. film as really a match in what was already in the box and that people already filed a sense of grievance about these wars about the insults to the why in which muslims
12:06 pm
are treated in the western world the cause. section of muslims the fact that in afghanistan for example have been a whole number of things from airstrikes to iran to the killing of a whole number of particularly women and children this weekend with strikes but previously. american sergeant. went and shot a whole series of women in a couple of villages a few months ago and is now awaiting trial in the united states and all of the build up a sense of grievance and it's not just in afghanistan people in the middle east they feel that there are double standards they feel that the west treats them with contempt and i think this is what these demonstrations are this is a very dangerous situation because the situation now is that when you have wars inoculations going on in libya in afghanistan the conflict in syria the
12:07 pm
failed occupation in iraq this gives an added sense of urgency to these protests and we've seen the killing of the american ambassador in libya we've seen the attacks on campus in i mean we will see more of these things you've mentioned that point about the perception of muslims there you are in london in britain we've seen some hardline islamist chantix and very provocative stuff there how is the public perceiving this is there a sense that this is a minority in islam being very vocal and that it doesn't actually represent the majority of muslims well i think it's absolutely true. relatively small number of muslims you've been demonstrating. over this issue lots of muslims have not been demonstrating but i don't think we should we should assume from the fact that they have been demonstrating that they are happy with this kind of thing we had the instant the danish cartoons
12:08 pm
a few years ago where he did seem very demonstrations and i feel. but many muslims in this country sense that there is a growing tide of what we call islamophobia in europe there is a growing number of physical attacks on muslims as and the mosques as restrictions on what women where in the streets in some countries in europe so i mean this is a very very important issue and it's of course it's connected to the wars it's connected to afghanistan and iraq and we have to be absolutely clear about this is why the only beginning of a solution is going to be the very first step has been to get these troops out of germany from the british stop the war coalition thank you very much indeed for your thoughts live here on r.t. . well with the passion burning across the religious divide there's no shortage of provocateurs national is far right german group in berlin says it wants to stage a screening of the film that began it all and that is artist or smith reports is
12:09 pm
something to worry the e.u. . it started in the middle east. but now the protests against a film a slim say it's an insult to islam have spread and they've arrived in europe. at least one hundred twenty muslims were arrested at a protest in. it's no longer about burning down u.s. embassies in muslim countries in europe they're calling for holy war. london saw similar scenes demonstrators outside the u.s. embassy following friday prayers and up to a thousand and again on sunday tempers flared and flags were burnt. out of this point out the small scale of european protests compared to those in the middle east but they say local islamists are using this to recruit new members a worrying sign. as i say mainstream extremists want
12:10 pm
a better word groups looking to exploit this in order to encourage men to come and join them and try and get into the habit of protest a habit of extremists demonstrations and that's always there it's be concerned about and it's already prompted a backlash as u.s. embassies all over europe come under siege from angry muslims a phone right islamophobia group in germany says it wants to put on a screening of the controversial film the innocence of muslims the pro-choice line citizens movement say it's a question of art and freedom of expression but germany's interior ministry has accused them of recklessly pouring oil on the fire it's a fire the radical muslims in the u.k. are all too happy to fan the flames of the muslims are rising wrongly with even in the west we want the strawman. people hate the american allies and i think this is
12:11 pm
a very good. turning point for the process was sparked by the film but they've taken on a why did i mention that also about foreign policy of america and its allies the fact of matter is the americans feel responsibility was in place they had troops inside the release of killed most of the occupied land and i thought it was a fair life unfortunately the only thing itself to blame and what started as a conflict between east and west threatens to become a domestic struggle inside europe laura smith r.t. . you can always see the full timeline as well as past and present coverage on the global rallies on our website there you can also read about a u.s. intelligence report warning that the american embassy in cairo is a target all that and much more but r.t. dot com.

of these three chinese patrol vessels briefly entered waters around disputed islands japan considers its own the tensions between the two countries escalated after tokyo bought the territories from private investors bypassing china political analyst from hong kong professor joseph chang thinks that beijing is sending japan a clear sign. it is basically a show that you autism the bowl certainly will light to demonstrate on the part of the citizens that the items belonging to china there is considerable anger out of the chinese people with what they see as a kind of dirty trade
12:13 pm
a kind of provocative and under the japanese government to put these islands from the owner of the chinese government and it's chinese people who believe that they have to respond and to respond strongly certainly in the threats of kind of rising nationalisms involve countries. for japanese businesses billions of dollars are at stake off to outrage protesters in beijing literally smash their shops along with their plans for a short term prosperity the country's been plagued by sentiment stephen clemons from the atlantic magazine believes the whole situation is a snapshot of the future relationship between the countries. and what we have both sides doing is probing weaknesses of the other china feels that it's due more respect and it's using issues like the islands issue or using. some skirmishes over
12:14 pm
japan just having consented to place another ballistic missile defense system is essentially to power squaring off and while it looks like china japan and there are certainly deep historical grievances this is really about china testing the united states and its alliance with japan and to some degree i expect these kind of skirmishes to continue for a long time be it's games of brinksmanship it will continue to look tense and gents' and dance and then you'll have moments of relaxation so what we're seeing today is a snapshot of what we're going to see for the next decade or more. there are many other stories ahead in the program including. the u.s. and britain leave them not just have a naval exercises off the iranian coast while israel steps up its tough talk on terror. and cyber revelations the world's leading antivirus developers stumble on an asshole of supervisors is eerily similar to america's. all that still to come but first almost two hundred thirty inmates died in u.k.
12:15 pm
prisons last year alone according to shocking statistics issued by the country's official watchdog as artie's party boy to reports one of the reasons is inmates reportedly being refused basic medical care. the highest number of deaths ever recorded in the u.k. presence what stands behind this grim statistic last year alone seventy one prisoners committed so. aside mostly by hanging themselves shockingly that includes the deaths of three miners while in custody all the deaths among prisoners have been attributed to natural causes as well as an aging prisoner population but critics say many of the so-called natural deaths all entirely preventable just this month the u.k. prison service came under fire for allegedly refusing medical treatment to daniel roque whole a prisoner with a red degenerative condition from which scrubs the prison behind me the thirty two
12:16 pm
year old man's complex medical needs one even though the governor of the prison had given assurances that he would be taken care of he ended up on a life support machine in hospital his family are now campaigning to keep him out of prison in order to safeguard his health prison reform groups here in the u.k. say that the government is focusing on saving money rather than lives also has emerged this summer to have three u.k. prisons suffer from severe overcrowding detainees held in cramped accommodation in cells that are meant for a much fewer occupants and then adding to the criticism of the country's top prisons inspector a man who's no doubt seen many a harrowing image he said he was kept awake at night by scenes that he had seen in women's jail in london where there were up to seven incidents of self home in one day he said the government should be quote a cost under shamed at the shockingly high levels of self mutilation within women's
12:17 pm
prisons in the u k. well there's always more on our website com here's something you what you can find there right now the latest in the cyber warfare web security researchers believe the u.s. has created a whole series of computer super viruses in the wake of the worm that hit iranian systems in two thousand and ten. and healthier security find out what controversial full body scanners are to be banned from the u.s. ports this is a more lined up. dot com. well let the sheer extent of america's cyber warfare operations has been stumbled along by two of the world's leading antivirus developers symantec and kaspersky say they've identified three more super viruses modeled after these talks that infected iranian nuclear facilities the government sources of admitted washington was behind that well let's get more on this now with. this kind of. well i must admit this looks more and more
12:18 pm
like a classic spy story because look we've got an awful axis of the borders of other states classified information and so on but we're not talking about people but we're talking about computer programs like the one for instance which attacked the iranian nuclear program in two thousand and ten and actually antivirus developers from the united states and russia were investigating servers which connect to computers infected by one spyware program which is very similar to the one which attacked iran back in two thousand and ten and what they reveal is that there are traces of three totally new computer programs still unidentified but very active like for instance one of them has been called me and speak and basically what's very interesting about it is that traditionally spyware programs in fact tens of thousands of computers while this program has in fact only
12:19 pm
a few dozen compete. all in the middle east in countries like iran palestine and saudi arabia and they say that it's most probably that these computers have very special information on them and they say that everything leads to believe that these three totally new programs are none other than cyber weapons. so. people these viruses are used not to pilfer money as cyber criminals usually do but rather to pilfer information appreciate some national interests. now there are two things which make it extremely difficult for these i. to identify these programs first of all. sophisticated and second of all the servers are constantly moved around the whole world and the geography is just extraordinary i'm talking about europe the middle east and asia so it's very difficult for the specialist to
12:20 pm
actually locate the these programs and there are traces since there are always attempt to erase them but they do say they have an idea which country has produced these programs since they do see that such. difficult programs. produced by a country say they won't say the name until they are one hundred percent sure but the countries most likely to be in the west on the other side of the atlantic. thanks very much indeed for that. correspondent there in our news room here in moscow while huge naval war games are underway in these two typically important strait of hormuz off the coast of iran war ships from britain the u.s. almost thirty other allies taking part exercise comes in the wake of tehran's promise to close the major oil shipping route should it be attacked me molly israel's prime minister is rattling his saber on american t.v.
12:21 pm
using scare tactics about iran's nuclear program well through middle east experts. galli believes that israel will never be able to strike if it isn't backed by western powers. netanyahu being at its wits send is not something new he and various members of his cabinet are at their wit's sale a number of questions eve thing is is washington and its vassal state soon europe going to back an israeli attack on iran without washington's green light this attack cannot take place because american interests are very directly involved in the entire region so if an attack is due to clear so it will long be know to know it will be the united states giving him the green light certainly be temperature in jerusalem is high in nature leon hall and his foreign minister have been threatening iran quite seriously for the last four months and the west of course has let them get away with it i mean just imagine if any other country were
12:22 pm
threatening another sovereign state there would be some here wouldn't cry in international waters not in looking a severe stroke so the very notion where israel has the right to invade another country because it has nuclear weapons when israeli israel itself is a nuclear but is slightly grotesque. nearly two hundred occupy wall street protesters were arrested in new york as they mocked the movement's one year anniversary peaceful anti corporate activists flooded the streets trying to block the entrance to the stock exchange the police resorted to using forces artie's marina portnoy's saw. the day began with hundreds of optimus and their supporters storming through lower manhattan some attempting to block the entrance of the new york stock exchange now out of the day progressed we saw many clashes between the new york city police departments and activists that were walking through lower manhattan chanting we are the ninety nine percent and pioneering
12:23 pm
a message that began twelve months ago a message that started in new york city and then to you but nationwide and ultimately global but the most important thing to note on monday when these optimists gather together for the one year anniversary is that they are still very much committed to their fight against income inequality against corporate influence on us politics but what also for me was the heavy handed tactics used by the n.y.p.d. against optimus some participating in civil disobedience on many occasions we saw that might be pushing optimus to the ground a lot of us feel disillusioned and kind of put down like we can't there's nowhere to go and there's no recourse that isn't violent you know they're the violent ones they're putting us in a position of violence and they're acting violently against us but rather like a much disruption as we could you know to show people that we're still ron and that the measure is just the same there you know there's still
12:24 pm
a lot of economic inequality in this country and the corporations are running away . you know with the political game and such genealogist because you don't see those here every day doesn't mean they were not here it's actually something that gives me a lot of hope personally and something that makes me feel hopeful for the future to see all these people involved and everybody down here now all summer criticize this movement as not going beyond civil disobedience are chanting or yelling still very clear that the frustrations that ignited this movement are still very much alive where it will go from here only time will tell but it will be in. to see how and if this event this movement has any impact on the u.s. presidential election that is just seven weeks away the activists i spoke with throughout my day say they are committed committed to this movement and will be doing everything they can even if it means just civil disobedience to cause
12:25 pm
a change in their system that they believe does not on behalf of ninety nine percent of the country reporting from new york bring up or niam party. big demand to buy europe's third biggest lender spending daniels in a business to tell us more about it oh yes tomorrow so over a new state in the firm's been twice oversubscribed rubenstein metropole told us burbank is timing the roof right. the risk of the ties for the financial sector is getting really strong and russia specifically scapa dieties is improving so basically we think it's a great time and i think it's very bank is going to be the first one out of the russian companies that are planned to i.p.o. in the near future and i think burbank is going to set a good standard it could have plays the itself three three to eight percent higher i think it's fair or reasonable and smart to give investors
